Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable compatible with any active speaker?
Yes, it is compatible with the vast majority of active speakers and professional equipment that use a Powerconnector A type power input and an XLR audio signal input.
Can the audio signal be affected by the electrical current traveling in the same cable?
No. The audio signal cable is designed with effective shielding that isolates it from electromagnetic interference that the power cable might generate. This ensures that the audio signal remains clean and free of hum or noise.
What does the 3x 1.5mm² specification of the power cable mean?
It indicates that the power cable consists of three internal conductors (live, neutral, and ground), each with a cross-sectional area of 1.5 square millimeters. This cross-section is the standard for safely handling currents up to 16 amps, providing the necessary power to equipment without overheating.
Can this cable be used outdoors?
Its robust construction makes it suitable for use at outdoor events. However, the connectors are not waterproof, so direct exposure to rain or excessive humidity should be avoided to ensure safety and proper functioning.
